FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between the 2711P-T12C4D8 and the 2711P-T12C4D9?

The key difference is the operating system features. The 2711P-T12C4D8 runs on Windows CE 6.0 without extended features. The 2711P-T12C4D9 includes Windows CE 6.0 with Extended Features and File Viewers, allowing users to view PDF files and access additional OS utilities directly on the terminal.

Q2: Is this terminal still in production?

No. The PanelView Plus 6 series is now at End of Life status. The recommended migration path is to the PanelView Plus 7 or PanelView 5000 series. However, the 2711P-T12C4D8 remains available through third-party suppliers and the used/refurbished market.

Q3: What software is required to program this HMI?

The terminal is configured using FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) version 6.0 or later. It also supports FactoryTalk ViewPoint software version 1.2 or later for web-based remote access.

Q4: Can I use a standard SD card for memory expansion?

While standard SD cards may work for basic file transfers, Rockwell recommends industrial-grade SD cards (1784-SDx) to ensure data integrity during high-frequency data logging and power cycles. The SD card slot is hot-swappable.

Q5: What communication protocols does this terminal support natively?

The 2711P-T12C4D8 includes native Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and RS-232 communication ports. The Ethernet port supports EtherNet/IP and other industrial protocols. Additional communication modules for DH+/DH-485 or ControlNet can be installed via the logic module's expansion slot.
